Half a score and one year ago, Nicki and Sid (@sidneyraz) were destined to meet during their job interview for Google Glass at the Venice Beach office. Upon hearing that a partner presentation was the last test, they immediately teamed up after discovering they both had a YouTube channel and a knack for public speaking. So much has happened since then, with Sidney amassing over 4.5 Million followers on TikTok and becoming lovingly known as the "Things I Wish I Knew Before My 30's" guy, starting his own podcast, and getting picked up to host Onomy's "Are You Kidding Me?" show. Nicki ended up meeting @iJustine (their favorite OG creator) after all and interviewed her during her @TechNickiSpeaking channel launch. Sid and Nicki reunite on The Nicki Sun Show to chat all things from creator tips and origin stories to becoming a dad and reminiscing about their Glass days.
